The Old and Unsightly
I am aware
of the Youth that has faded
But Smiles all around
will not make me feel jaded
An ancient Bluto displaying
first signs of flab
Age to stay
So why should I be an old-time crab?
Fast food to indulge
Having lost the battle of the bulge
My LINES are a sight to see
peer across and fear it NATURALLY
Today for the young
Our time departed
Listen to the children
This generation becoming OLD HEARTED
The end is near
Our beginning becoming clear
For them
The YOUTH and the MIGHTY
As for ourselves:
THE OLD AND UNSIGHTLY!!
